3. Teachers should NEVER say things like this in the classroom. NONE of my students know how I vote

it is just not appropriate.

I am VERY careful to present both sides of an issue and never talk down to someone who thinks opposite of me.

This year I had a very strong Romney backer ...his whole family canvassed for him. We had great spirited debates after each of the presidential debates, but to this day, this student does not know if I voted for Obama or Romney
